Onslow has grown with the Pilbara's gas and resources projects, but health services haven't kept pace. Telephysio Australia gives Onslow residents and FIFO workers fast video access to a physiotherapist, including women's health physiotherapy.

Why people in Onslow use telehealth physio

• There's no physio clinic in town, and the nearest is several hours away.

• FIFO and roster workers can continue sessions whether they're on site or at home.

• Women's health physiotherapy, including pregnancy and postnatal care, is available by telehealth.

Common problems we help with in Onslow

• Lower back and neck pain from long shifts and heavy equipment

• Shoulder and knee injuries from construction and maintenance work

• Pregnancy-related back and pelvic pain, and postnatal recovery

• Pelvic floor problems, including leakage and prolapse symptoms

Every session is with a qualified, AHPRA-registered physiotherapist. We assess the problem, explain what's going on, and build an exercise and self-management plan you can do at home or on site. If we think you need a scan or a face-to-face review, we'll tell you and help you arrange it.

For employers in Onslow

Local industries like gas and resources, salt, fishing and tourism carry a high risk of musculoskeletal injury. Getting injured workers seen early matters. Research from Monash University found workers who saw a physiotherapist within 7 days of injury had a median of 8.0 weeks off work, compared with 34.7 weeks for those who waited more than 30 days (Mekonnen et al., BMC Public Health, 2025). Telephysio Australia helps Onslow employers get workers assessed within days, not weeks, with clear reporting for your WHS and return to work team.
